[chessmasters]

Date & Time: Backdated to May 1st
Location: Starting by the Hold, and then around after that.
Characters: Lelouch vi Britannia & C.C.
Summary: Lelouch's moocher has arrived.
Warnings: Idk probably none.

[It hasn't been long since Lelouch returned from the mission in Australia. Checking by the hold to see if by chance this place had dragged Nunnally was his first priority before he returned to his apartment. She's the last person he wants to show up here, or so he thinks until he sees a familiar witch. Pretty hard to miss that bright green hair. His lack of luck is pathetic, this is literally the last thing he needs to deal with on top of everyone else here. Something seriously had to be done about the Initiative bringing people here. It was too unpredictable.

He gives the area a quick glance to check for anyone he knows before he approaches C.C. and grabs for her arm. He needs to get her away before anyone can see her or see them together.]

C.C.

[immortali]

Of course. [Your wardrobe is as fabulous as always, she's sure.

She scoffs back.]

I'm being forced to wear it. Of course it matters.

[chessmasters]

[Always completely and totally fabulous! Who doesn't like untucked shirts with sweater vests over the top of them?]

Your idea of a disguise is laughable. You need to be more discreet, it should be easy to understand, even for you.

[immortali]

[The fashion gods weep softly over you, Lelouch.]

I can be plenty discreet.

[Says the girl with very green hair...]

[chessmasters]

Your hair alone would ruin our cover. We need to find you a wig as well. And your clothes need to be normal, not flashy.

[immortali]

I guess that's fine. [She's worn wigs and weird clothes for his cause before, after all. It'll be annoying here though. She'll have to wear it every time she goes out which given the information dump she got will be often.]

Will I have to wear it all the time?

[chessmasters]

If you're around people besides myself and Kallen, yes. I can't afford any contradictions with your appearance. Otherwise, I don't care how you look in the privacy of your own room.

[Once past the alleyway, the shop is across the street on the road they're on.]

This way.

[immortali]

[She huffs a little. Wearing a disguise all the time... Oh well. Could be worse.

Also don't you mean "my" room, Lelouch? 'Cause she's living in your room as revenge.]

Do I get a new name too? Maybe I can be your long lost cousin. Amelia Lamperouge... [Harhar. She follows along and once they reach the shop she goes ahead and opens the door herself. It seems small and discreet. Not surprising.]

[chessmasters]

[He'll have some things to say about those living conditions. B( But in the end he'll inevitably cave to it, if only that he can keep a closer eye on her when she's there.

He cuts her an unimpressed look, following in after her. It's still the dump he remembers it being when Kallen brought him here.]

A new name would beneficial.

[immortali]

[She rolls her eyes and scoffs a little.] I don't want a new name. I'm C.C. [And that's who she'll ever be, thank you very much. No need making up stupid new ones. Stupid human ones.

She pokes through a rack of clothes half heartedly.] These are terrible. Do you wear these?

[chessmasters]

That wasn't always your name. [But whatever, it's not like Suzaku actually knew her name. Her appearance is the real problem, because there's no way he wouldn't recognize the girl that came from that capsule.]

They'll have to do in this situation. It's pointless to complain.

[immortali]

[She pauses at that... then shakes her head. But she offers no comment and instead pulls a skirt and blouse off the rack. They're so gaudy...]

Fine. [She holds them up against herself.] How do I look?

[chessmasters]

As long as they don't stand out, I don't care what you wear. Just pick something and make it quick.
